task #1 ❦ gothic july '26

Instructions

Welcome, campers, to your first writing task of July '26! What you'll notice pretty soon is that this session will be interspersed with tidbits and clues about the mansion and why things seem to be a bit off. In order to uncover these clues, we need a certain amount of campers to complete a collaborative writing task. The writing itself should be done in the study, using this link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1350463608/ . Any and all planning can go either in Gothic's studio, this project, or on somebody's profile. Your first task will require you to pair up with ONE person. Beware -- in the future, your partner's may be randomized. However, to kick things off, you can just leave a comment on this project to request a writing partner and communicate there. This task requires THREE pairs to complete the writing assignment. The writing is due at 11:59 PM EST on JULY 3RD. If there seems to be a problem with your partner's activity and you still want to get the task done, contact a leader :-) Without further ado, let's get into what you've all been waiting for: the prompt. It's the beginning of camp, and we really need to set the spooky mood. One element of writing that is sure to create a desired environment is the setting. A good setting, and the specific language and diction used to describe it, can go a long way in any story. Pair up with ONE other person to write at least 100 words describing a spooky setting. The sky's the limit; this can be a forest, a hotel, or even an old manor.
